Netflix's heartwarming show Love on the Spectrum is back with a bang, bringing its third season to life along with some beloved returnees. In this instalment of the touching dating series – which shines the spotlight on individuals with autism searching for romance – there are familiar faces that have waltzed back into the hearts of viewers. Among them stands Tanner Smith, a fan-adored figure whose cheerful demeanour and charming personality leap from the screen.
Originating from Clemson, South Carolina, the 25-year-old remains unpaired on the series but carries clear aspirations for love. His ideal match? Someone chatty, polite at the dinner table, and with a zest for lively gatherings. As his journey for companionship unfolds, Tanner's earlier years were touched upon by his mother in discussions.
Diagnosed with autism at two and a half, young Tanner once had challenges with direct eye contact and provoked concerns about overstimulation in public spaces, reports Surrey Live . His mother, in a conversation with Today, reflected astonishingly, "If you had told me when Tanner was a little boy that he would be doing now what he's doing now, he's a freaking miracle." Before his big break in season two, Tanner charmed the audience with his self-description as "a kind young man who spreads joy all around the world.
" Employed at a local hotel, he dazzles guests with his warm welcome—a skill honed alongside his younger sister. His experience on the show marked Tanner's very first foray into dating. In his life between seasons, Tanner has fully embraced the limelight following his fame through Netflix.
The platforms' Tudum site reports that he's journeyed across various destinations, seized opportunities to speak publicly, and shares regularly on social media. Away from the cameras, he recently celebrated his sister's wedding and moving into a new home. The pinnacle of Tanner's celebrity encounters happened on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
A longstanding Jack Black superfan, Tanner was surprised with not just another video message from the Jumanji icon after the actor's promise. However, Kelly Clarkson arranged something special by at first announcing yet another recorded video message, only for the A Minecraft Movie star himself to burst through the doors, surprising Tanner. The ensuing embrace was nothing short of touching as Tanner exclaimed, overjoyed: "Jack it's you! Jack I'm so excited to meet you Jack.
Jack, Jack, I'm so glad I get to finally meet you." But that's not where star-struck moments end; Tanner also bumped into Mark Wahlberg while at work, as the famed actor visited Clemson, where his daughter is studying. Curiosity abounds about Tanner's current love life post-show—with fans wondering who he is dating now.
Tanner might have explored romantic possibilities with Shyann on a blind date and later formed a connection with Callie in season three, but it seems he's still navigating the single life. Despite that, Tanner and Callie remain tight-knit, even sharing a social media video to mark Callie's visit to him in Clemson. Reflecting on their current status post-filming, Callie shared: "The update is that we are hanging out and we are enjoying it and we love ourselves and we love hanging out together.
He is just the sweetest guy I ever met in my whole life." Even as a bachelor, Tanner holds a vivid image of his dream girl. In a conversation with a local news outlet, he revealed his desire for someone who is "beautiful," boasts "pretty eyes," and is "Christian.
